'Absolute beast': This discounted power bank packs huge capacity for just $16
The Iniu charger usually goes for $22, making it a juicy 27% off. Compared to similar power banks, this is an absolute steal, especially for something with 10,000mAh of power. This matches the best price on the web, so no need to look elsewhere.
When your device is dead, having a power bank on hand can truly save the day. Iniu has a lot of faith that you'll love this portable charger (and the adorable paw print indicator goes a long way); a three-year warranty is included.
The power bank supports fast charging and can boost an iPhone to 78% in just one hour. The gadget's 15-layer SmartProtect system eliminates the risks of overheating, overvoltage and other mishaps that might damage your devices.
It features three separate ports (two USB-A, one USB-C), which means you can charge up to three devices at once. It's also a multitasker, and one that may come in handy as it doubles as a flashlight. And finally, that cute paw print? It's a charge indicator (and, in our and many reviewers' opinions, a serotonin-booster), letting you see how much power is left at a glance. Wild!
More than 61,000 fans have given the Iniu charger a flawless rating.
"This battery is an absolute beast," proclaimed a reviewer. "I've had it for years and it still works fantastically. Even dropped and cracked it; it outperforms other batteries I've had. They come and go and this has been ole reliable."
One shopper said this gizmo made a family trip a much better experience. "I bought this for Disney and I would say it is absolutely the most valuable thing I bought for the trip," raved a grateful buyer. "I've since used this on long days at the zoo and on a long hiking trip where my phone would have died and my map would have disappeared."
Another fan used it to express their sports fandom: "I've purchased at least six of these," one shopper said. "We are Penn State University fans and the paw print lighting up looks like a Nittany Lion paw. The battery charges easily, and it works great. The paw print shows how much battery power you have, and it's large. Very convenient! No more guessing or looking for little tiny lights. The flashlight has come in handy as well."
Again, the paw print is a big hit: "I bought this to take on vacation with me. My grandson used it for his Oculus when his batteries died and it lasted for hours of him playing. ... It is quick to recharge [and] I love the paw print that shows how much of a charge it has as well."
One reviewer said that while the power bank works great, it can take a while to charge. "Great bang for the buck," the shopper wrote. "The only downside is that it takes a long time to charge fully (about two hours), but it's something I can sacrifice for the price."
Another said that the power bank is just a tad heavier than they expected. "I have had this charger for three years, and it is still holding up perfectly. It takes a while to charge (I usually charge it overnight), but it's worth it. The only complaint I have about it is that it is a bit heavy, but I guess it comes with the power it holds."
And while you're saving your devices, you may want to keep track of them too with this incredible Apple AirTags deal.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Keep Your Phone From Overheating When the Temperature Spikes
As the East Coast of the US faces high winds and flooding from Hurricane Erin, the West Coast is about to be hit with a brutal heat wave. Along with increased danger from wildfires, the hot temperatures also create risks for your personal tech, specifically your smartphone. Phones are more sensitive to extreme temperatures than most people realize. While the Pixel 6A made news earlier this year because of exploding, even the latest iPhone and Android models can overheat quickly if left in the sun or used heavily during hot weather. When your phone gets too hot, it can slow down, shut off or even suffer long-term damage. High temperatures put stress on the battery and internal components, which can lead to reduced performance and a shorter lifespan. Whether you're out on a hike, watching videos by the pool, or just leaving your phone on the dashboard, here's what you need to know about overheating -- and how to keep your device safe this summer. Why is your phone overheating in the first place? High temperatures -- over 95 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Apple -- can cause your phone to take precautions to protect its components. Your phone might overheat for many reasons, but here are some of the most common culprits: Leaving your phone in direct sunlight Keeping your phone in a hot environment, like a car on a hot day Using your phone's navigation system or other system-intensive tasks in hot conditions Overusing your phone when it's charging A faulty battery or charger Bugs in the software Rogue apps or malware Your phone might overheat from other causes, like a malfunctioning application or even a suffocating phone case, but the reasons above are the most likely causes of your phone getting too hot. You don't want to overuse your phone while it's charging. Nelson Aguilar/CNET What does overheating do to your phone? If the interior temperature of your phone exceeds its normal operating range and the device overheats, you can expect issues: You may not be able to use your phone Operations on your phone may slow down Charging may slow or completely stop Your signal may be weakened Your camera's flash may be disabled There are also possible permanent harmful effects: Overheating can cause lasting damage to the battery, SIM card and other crucial parts inside your phone. If your phone overheats, it may not be able to charge until it returns to a normal temperature. Screenshot by Nelson Aguilar/CNET So how can you prevent your phone from overheating? The most important thing is to keep your phone out of direct sunlight when possible, especially when it's warm. Your phone might be fine in the grass on an overcast day, but the warmer the temperature, the less your phone can withstand the sun. At the beach, your phone can overheat in just a few minutes in the sun. The same is true if you put it in a sunny spot on the dash or seat of your car. Instead, get your phone out of the direct light, whether it's in your pocket, inside a backpack or under a towel/blanket or dashboard. Anyplace that will keep it away from sunlight will work. It's fairly easy to protect your phone from the sun, but high temperatures alone can also cause your phone to overheat. After only an hour, the inside of a car can reach 143 degrees Fahrenheit when it's 100 degrees outside, for example, so a phone left in your cup holder could quickly overheat and get damaged. The short answer: Don't keep your phone in a hot environment for an extended period of time, even if it's not in direct sunlight. That includes your car, a sauna, the kitchen, the middle of the desert or anywhere near a fire. Your phone's optimal internal temperature should be somewhere between 32 degrees and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees and 35 degrees Celsius). To prevent overheating, Apple recommends keeping the device in a place where the temperature is between negative 4 degrees and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 20 degrees and 45 degrees Celsius). While it might be tempting, don't stick your phone in the freezer to cool it down. The Apple community boards have lots of warnings about the damage you can do to your phone by putting it in an icebox. You should also follow these tips to prevent your phone from overheating Don't use graphics- or processor-intensive apps when your phone is charging . That includes massive mobile video games like PUBG Mobile or streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu. . That includes massive mobile video games like PUBG Mobile or streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu. Update your phone system software and apps to the latest software available . A bug in the software can cause overheating issues, so always stay up-to-date with your software. . A bug in the software can cause overheating issues, so always stay up-to-date with your software. Steer clear of third-party chargers.

Apple TV+ is raising its subscription price by 30%
Apple TV+, home of series including "The Studio" and "Ted Lasso," is raising its subscription price by $3 to $12.99 a month, it announced Thursday. The move comes as many streamers have been raising their prices, as the cost of production increases and the businesses are facing more pressure by investors to increase profits. Apple TV+ launched in 2019 at $4.99 a month, positioned as a low-cost perk for people to watch high-quality shows and movies with a free trial if they bought Apple products such as iPhones and iPads. Since then, the streamer has raised its prices, mostly recently in October 2023 from $6.99 to $9.99. Read more: Apple has made splashy bets in Hollywood. Are they paying off? Like other tech giants, Apple has faced scrutiny from the Trump administration on its U.S. manufacturing presence. Earlier this year, when the Trump administration proposed increasing tariffs, some analysts were concerned about the adverse effect that would have on Apple's iPhone business, which makes iPhones in China. Since then, Apple has increased its commitment to manufacturing in the U.S., most recently pledging an additional $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing. If Apple continues to face pressure on major businesses including the iPhone, it could cause the company to look at other aspects of its business that aren't drawing as much revenue, analysts have said. In March, tech and business news site the Information reported that Apple TV+ is losing significant amounts of money. Analysts have long viewed Apple TV+ as part of the company's larger push into services to go along with its hardware. While Apple TV+ is increasing its monthly subscription price, it is not raising its $99.99 annual price or the cost of bundling Apple TV+ with other services through Apple One, the company said in a statement. Apple declined to say how many subscribers Apple TV+ has or the reasons behind the monthly subscription price increase. The streaming service is part of Apple's larger services category, which brought in $27.4 billion in revenue in its fiscal third quarter, up 13% from a year earlier. Read more: Apple commits another $100 billion for U.S. manufacturing amid Trump tariffs Unlike other major streaming platforms, Apple TV+ does not offer an ad-supported version of its service.

Apple iOS 18.6.2 New iPhone Software: Should You Upgrade?
Just days after the surprise iPhone update that is iOS 18.6.1, there's been another, called, unsurprisingly, iOS 18.6.2. Less than a week after the last one. Don't find the whole process dizzying: read on for whether you should upgrade or not. This post has the initial thoughts on the new release and I'll be updating this post over the coming week and will make a final assessment on Thursday, Aug. 28. Who Is It For And How Do You Get It? Apple iOS 18.6.2 works for all iPhones from 2018 on. That's the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus and iPhone XR models and every phone since. That means the iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and so on right up to the iPhone 16 series, plus the second- and third-generation iPhone SE models as well as the iPhone 16e. To update, go to the iPhone's Settings app, select General, then Software Update. Then, choose Download and Install, and the software will download from there. This is a medium download, around 738MB, so it should be reasonably quick to install. What It's About While the last iPhone update, just six days before this one, had a specific Apple Watch-related feature in mind (to restore the blood oxygen monitoring feature to watches that had seen it vanish or never appear in the first place, this update is about a security update. It's worth noting that the previous update had zero security aspects. Apple iOS 18.6.2 Security Apple says the update 'provides important security fixes,' and specifically a vulnerability that impacts the ImageIO system framework which looks after images. If that sounds commonplace, it's not. This is an update with a single function: to overcome a problem which is already out in the wild. 'Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals,' is how Apple described the issue on its support site. Initial Reactions The new update has caused some consternation. As one Redditor said, ' Since Apple is aware that bad guy may already use this flaw to target particular groups of people, people should update their system as soon as possible.' Apple iOS 18.6.1 Initial Verdict: Update I think that's good advice. This is a serious security issue and holding back from updating could be problematic. Update, please. Final verdict next week.
